Small Wooden House Design Ideas by WIM Goes Architectuur

This small private wooden house designed by WIM Goes Architectuur, the house was surrounded with green vegetation garden, graying wood, ponds and other tropical trees that create a harmonious balance between art and nature. Goes’s signature style combines intentional, unpretentious simplicity with functional clarity, and results in stark beauty with Japanese-Finnish undertones.

In this residential structure, Goes created an elegant facade that encompasses both visual and structural grace. The facade is created from slim strips of wood (only 6 x 8 centimeters in cross-section) selected for the straightness of the growth rings in each piece of wood. And although the wood will still warp slightly in the rain and sun, this does not pose a structural problem because the facade does not need to bear wind load — the wind will blow right through the strips. The only structural load the wood strips must carry is the vertical load of the roof. Via
